Description
These delicious Rolo brownies are fudgy and gooey, packed with melted Rolo candies and topped with caramel for an extra treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter (melted, salted or unsalted)
- ¾ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- 1½ cups Rolo candies (unwrapped and chilled)
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or more to taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup chopped Rolo candies
- Flaky sea salt (optional and to taste)
Instructions
- Place 1½ cups unwrapped Rolos in a bowl and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes before using.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang, and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
- Add cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
- In a large bowl, add sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk for 2-3 minutes until pale and creamy.
- Gradually pour the cocoa-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, whisking well to incorporate.
- Add flour and salt, and using a rubber spatula, fold until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Add the chilled Rolos and fold to incorporate.
- Turn batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 42-50 minutes, checking early.
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with halved Rolos, drizzle with caramel sauce, optionally sprinkle with sea salt, slice, and serve cooled.
- For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife blade between slices.
Notes
- These are very gooey brownies; they are fudgy even when fully cooked.
- Best not to serve chilled, as Rolos harden dramatically in the fridge.
